Just started watching....

Oh,and me neither..... although I had one of each anyway, so...... And hi Sazbomb

*turns over from Mock The Week*

I went to school with a girl who was the eldest of 8 girls - her parents longed for a boy, but finally realised it probably was never going to happen

IF i ever have kids, which at the moment I don't, but think I might one day.... I'd only want a boy. I wouldn't want a girl.

Hi Rexi & Cheryl Let's put it this way, two was certainly enough for me!

That's what my husband said ... he didn't think he'd ever be able to cope with the whole boyfriend thing.

He went on to have two girls and he's doing okay

i'm watching  and i think its a shame they cant accept the children they have , some people cant concieve at all , my auntie had 4 boys and always wanted a girl but she gave up . maybe i'm predujuiced because i had a boy then a girl then got sterilised ( i had split from their father by then )   but i think if you are so desperate for a child  the gender should not matter , long as the baby is healthy

two girls for me .... and one boy!

I agree Madamski. Hi

Hi Baz

My dad said thats why they only had me and my brother, they had one of each

Crunchy, why would you only want a boy? Like I said, I dont understand people having a preference, so what is it?

awwww, I do think that if you have two or three children of one sex it is perfectly normal to hope for the next one to be the other. So long as, if it's not, that's ok too

I just don't want a girl. I want a boy so that I can kick a footy round with him, take him to watch the footie. I know it's possible that a girl would wanna play footie but it's less likely. I just wouldn't want a girl full stop Out of interest, once you've found out the sex of your baby, is it then too late to get a termination?

 hya

ohhhhhhhhhhh, that poor woman ... I'm sure she will love him to bits

hahaha ... yes :waggyfingersmiley:

Madamski, I've always thought that the most important thing is it being healthy

what happens if she cant love him the same as his brothers though and holds it against him that he was'nt a girl ?  i think she held her hopes too high

oohhh technically I don't think it is too late Crunchy, but I think at that stage they'll only terminate if there is something wrong with the baby. I'm not sure when you can find out the sex... 20 weeks or so?

That's my point Lexie - I think it is fine to hope for one sex - but if it's the other I would hope that you would still love the child unconditionally

I was wondering that too

I think also, people seem to have really set ideas of what a girl will be like... she was going round the shop looking at all pink fluffy things and dolls. I hated all that stuff as a kid, I was a complete tomboy and had scalextrix, remote control cars and a train set She would have been right disappointed with me Oh, and I'm the eldest, so I wasn't getting any influence from my brother or anything

LOL.... ditto.... I remember saying, oh well.... we have the full set now, so.....

Blimey, they've got an impressive house!

The first time that my baby daughter filled her nappy all thoughts of pink fluffy girliness disappeared

its queer that i have have a friend with 6 boys  ........... swears blind she could never cope with a girl ,  and she said her doctor told her some women only carry boys   i dunno but i think she carries on having babies living in hope

Rexi

I don't think I agree with PGD.... but maybe I am old fashioned..... we never even had scans when my kids were born

Honestly - it is very levelling ... there you are goo gooing at this delicious creature, then their nether regions explode. Illusions. Shattered.

It is strange how some people get all one or the other isn't it Madamski?

Oh god Rexi, I probably shouldn't, but I'm howling at that

I agree Baz ... I did have scans but no way would I have ever found out the gender  ... I wanted the surprise. It would have seemed like opening my Christmas presents before Christmas

Very true

And ... like the perfect mother that I am ... I remind them of it. Often

Refused to marry him til he gave her a daughter?!

Oh my goodness...... if I was her OH I would have told her where to go!!!

Me too

LOL... snap Sazbomb....   That seems very shallow to me......

Oh God - pregnancy tests ... that takes me back

wait til those angelic twins become teenagers
